    If you could only smoke one blend...

    That's a very difficult question for me as I really like variety. But if I HAD to smoke only one blend, then it would probably something that offers more than just one dimension depending on the age. For me, that would probably be PS Luxury Navy Flake. I wouldn't necessarily call it my...

    What Are You Drinking? December 2023

    I've been drinking a lot of WhistlePig stuff lately, but that's only because they were given to me by the supplier. Tonight I'll probably drink some New Riff Single Barrel or one of the Four Roses Limiteds that I have cracked open. I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow and think I might crack...

    Dark Fired Kentucky

    My current favorite DFK blend is Gawith & Hoggarth Dark Bird's Eye. It's a little smoky and a little sweet and ages pretty well. I buy it in bulk and portion it out for aging. Definitely an "end-of-the-night" type of blend for me. It can be pretty stout.

    In Defence of WAYS

    I actually hadn't seen any negative posts about it, which is why I was so surprised. I just found it a little ridiculous that someone would complain about such thread on a forum that is specifically meant for such threads. I'm all for some good-natured ball-busting: I just had a chuckle a bit...

    Night Owls

    I worked in restaurants and bars for many years in my 20s and my body got used to the routine. Even now that I have what is essentially an 8-5 job, I'm still up pretty late. My body just likes being awake at night. I also like it because my wife and kids are in bed, so if I want to watch...

    In Defence of WAYS

    It takes special kind of person to get their knickers in a bunch because people enjoy posting what pipes and tobaccos they are currently smoking on a PIPE AND TOBACCO FORUM!!!! I mean, really?!?! You know you can scroll right past it, right? Just do that and post your complaint about the...

    Washington and Shipping Laws

    I've shipped quite a bit of pipe tobacco out of WA. But only as gifts/trades. I've never had any issues, but then again, I've never labeled the boxes with "FRAGILE; AGED PIPE TOBACCO INSIDE". I know that TinBids will not allow you to list tobacco for sale if your address is a WA address...

    Blends by Setting

    Morning: I don't usually smoke in the morning, but if I do it's something like Newminster 400 Navy or OGS Afternoon: If I do, it would usually be something like PS LNF or another Va/Per blend. Night: This is usually when I smoke and it varies tremendously according to my mood or what I'm...

    Real Perique?

    Thanks. Regardless the specifics, I love the stuff and I love what it contributes to a blend. Kudos for those that are carrying the torch and keeping the process alive.

    Real Perique?

    I was always under the impression that the main identifying attribute for "real" St. James Perique was not the fact that it was processed in St. James Parish, but the fact that the plants were grown in St. James Parish. That it was the leaves themselves that give St. James Perique its unique...
